Chargers signed LT Russell Okung, formerly of the Broncos, to a four-year, $53 million contract with $25 million guaranteed.

Okung was a relative disappointment in his one year with Denver but that didn't stop the Chargers from emptying the safe. On a per-year basis, this makes Okung the richest tackle in football. The Giants and Panthers were also in on Okung before he planted his flag in L.A. Now that Okung is on board, the Chargers are almost certain to move on from King Dunlap, who was recently arrested for a domestic disturbance. Thu, Mar 9, 2017 05:35:00 PM

The Chargers have been connected to Okung since his option was declined, but this is the first report directly linking them. Okung would be a solid fit with L.A. looking to move on from LT King Dunlap. The Panthers and Giants also have interest in Okung, while the Broncos haven't ruled out bringing him back.

That is in addition to the Broncos, who have not closed the door on bringing Okung back despite declining to pick up his option last month. Both landing spots make a lot of sense. The Panthers have to find a replacement for Michael Oher, whose career may be over due to concussions, and the Giants are likely looking to move 2015 first-rounder Ereck Flowers to the right side. Okung could command $10-12 million per year on his next deal. Wed, Mar 8, 2017 01:04:00 PM

NFL Network's James Palmer reports the Broncos and free agent LT Russell Okung are "still talking" about a possible return.

The Broncos declined Okung's option, but are open to bringing him back at a reduced rate. That doesn't seem like a real possibility, as early reports suggest Okung could earn $10-12 million annually on the open market. The Chargers, Giants, Jets and Vikings are known to have interest.

Chargers OL Forrest Lamp (knee) is the leading candidate to start at right guard.

Lamp was in line to start as a rookie before missing the entire year with a torn ACL. The Chargers expect him to be ready for training camp and are counting on him at one of their guard spots. With Matt Slauson a free agent, Dan Feeney could start opposite Lamp.
